COMPETITIVE

Season 3 has ended. Titles and items will be awarded for your highest rank achieved during the season

Season 3 Prospect Wheel

Season 3 Challenger Wheel

Season 3 Star Wheel

Season 3 Champion Wheel

Season 3 Grand Champion Title

Season 4 brings a new set of Skill Rankings to provide more clear divisions between skill levels

You are now classified into Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Champion, and Grand Champion ranks

The new Grand Champion rank will be harder to attain than in Season 3

There are now only four divisions per skill tier (e.g. Gold II, Division IV) due to each tier covering a smaller range of skills

Skill Reset

After placement matches, you will be assigned a skill rating influenced by your Season 3 ranking

This ranking will be lower than where you finished Season 3 and you will have to climb back to the highest rank you can reach

We are not doing a full reset like Season 3 due to the lengthy period of matchmaking disturbance it created. This “soft reset” means players start separated by skill to keep things balanced but can still climb back to top ranks

Matchmaking Abuse

In the interest of enforcing fair competition, a small number of accounts have been identified as abusing the matchmaking system, and will receive a hard skill reset. These accounts will not receive Competitive Season 3 item rewards

Placement Match Updates

The placement match system has been revised to allow players to climb faster if they win the majority of their placement games

When rejoining a Ranked Match, the default option is now “OK” instead of “Cancel”

ESPORTS

An “Esports” button has been added to the top of the main menu

The Esports button will take you directly to live, official Rocket League tournaments on Twitch, including live RLCS streams

This button will only be visible during associated live events

Spectators can now see a player’s Boost Meter and Rumble Power-up when in Player View
